Perceptual Specificity Effects in Rereading: Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sheridan, Heather; Reingold, Eyal M. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2012
The present experiments examined perceptual specificity effects using a rereading paradigm. Eye movements were monitored while participants read the same target word twice, in two different low-constraint sentence frames. The congruency of perceptual processing was manipulated by either presenting the target word in the same distortion typography…

Organizational Encodings in the Serial Learning of Prose
Johnson, Ronald E.; Scheidt, Barbara J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
An attempt was made to identify comparable subjective subsequences in the serial learning of a prose passage and to examine the relationship of such organizational encodings to the variable of structural importance. Results of serial learning and free recall indicated learners associatively organized individual prose subunits into subjective…

Retrieval Processes for Organized Long-Term Storage
Seamon, J. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Research based on doctoral dissertation submitted at the University of Massachusetts. Experiment findings show that serial processes are present in recall and recognition for short-term and long-term storage. (DS)

Information Processing Strategies Used in the Encoding of Linear Orderings
Potts, George R. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1972
Paper based on a dissertation submitted to the Department of Psychology at Indiana University. Research performed while the author had a Public Health Service terminal year fellowship; research also supported in part by a Public Health Service grant to Dr. Frank Restle. (VM)

Precategorical Acoustic Storage and Postcategorical Lexical Storage.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Richardson, John T. E. – Cognitive Psychology, 1979
A system of precategorized acoustic storage has accounted for the recency effect obtained in the immediate serial recall of sequences of digits, consonants, or syllables. Four experiments in recall of word sequences investigated fit to this model. A system of postcategorical lexical storage was concluded to explain the results. (Author/RD)

Some Considerations Necessary for a Viable Theory of Human Memory.
Sietsema, Douglas J. – 1979
Empirical research is reviewed in the area of cognitive psychology pertaining to models of human memory. Research evidence and theoretical considerations are combined to develop guidelines for future theory development related to the human memory. The following theoretical constructs and variables are discussed: (1) storage versus process…

Memory Retrieval and the Problem of Scanning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Corballis, Michael C. – Psychological Review, 1979
Ratcliff's theory of memory retrieval which posits parallel processing and Sternberg's serial processing explanation of memory scanning are reviewed and contrasted. Discrepancy between the two theories may arise because they focus on different aspects of the data. If scanning without comparisons takes place, the two views may be reconciled.…

Lesson Writing for Teaching Verbal Chains: Order in Which Elements Are Taught. Part II: Error Patterns as the Result of Selection of Words for Fading.
Slack, Charles W. – 1964
The results of a number of experiments with the memorizing of several different subject-matters are presented in such a way that the relationship between number of opportunities for error (word elements faded) and number of errors actually made can be observed for individuals and groups. The particular selection of word elements to be taught by…

Implications of Research on Internal Processing Operations in Learning and Memory for Serial Task Training.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Rigney, Joseph W. – 1971
The literature on learning research pertaining to the internal processing operations of the learner was reviewed. The current thinking of learning theorists regarding the nature and importance of these processes in learning and retention is described, and their significance for instructional technology is examined. Verbalization, imagery, and…
